Thanks hun I've taken a few days rest, my knee is playing up again and don't want to do serious harm. I've been looking into doing a half-marathon on April 1st

 

[Clavicles]

How were you after the 10 miles? It was the first time in months I was knackered after a run, lol and I was STARVING yesterday

Happy New Year btw!

 

[Shazzabir]

It was a struggle to get to 10 miles, but I wouldn't allow myself to stop until I had done it.
Sounds a good plan signing up, you have plenty of time to get your training in. Mine is 11th March. I need to get lots of outdoor running in now though. I had got up to 6 miles, but then started with knee problems, so then concentrated on the treadmill as its easier on the knees. Now I find it really challenging running outside, so need to build my stamina back up again.

Are any of you folks entering anything this year? I've got three 10K races and a half marathon in June.

It's going to keep me focused. Last year I was carrying 2st more when I did the marathon and I can't wait to smash last year's time!

 

[Shazzabir]

That's brilliant Nodge!!
I am doing a half marathon in March and the London 10k in July. I am in two minds whether to attempt the sign up for the Great North Run.

Hi all,

I did 5 miles on Monday and 5 this morning. The wind is soooo bad here. I was blew all over the road Dangerous!

Hi nodge :welcome:

I have a few 10k's in mind and a half Marathon, haven't committed to any yet though as I'm unsure of travel arrangements etc.. Need to get my finger out and just do it!

 

[cyberjelly]

Having read this thread I felt rather strangely inspired.

I try to do 1 mad thing each year since hitting the big 40.
Passed motorbike test,
Lost 4 stone,
learnt to roller skate.

This year have just paid to run the south east run in Portsmouth (10miles).

Ok now for the problem I have never run in my life, having big boobs has always made it hard.

So one of my colleagues at work is devising a plan of attack for me. weekly targets building up to the full 10 miles.

Question? how much running had you done before you desided to embark on the 100 mile challenege?

Do you honestly think I could complete in the run (october 28th) or am I really kidding myself? I still have 1 1/2 stone to go before goal.

Have a look at this link for Runners World magazine. It tells you where all the planned races are this year.

Not just that, but also the distance and the terrain too so you can plan around that.

Sounds a great challenge! Yes you have time, might have to be quite disciplined with the training, but you do have time. You'll have to keep us updated

Thanks shazzabir

Well today on the treadmill i ran 1 (either km or mile), ok it was only at 4mph but I just covered the timer and run for as long as I could, prob could have done more but was happy with that.

Skating tomorrow so no running till sunday.

 

[Clavicles]

You can definitely do it Cyberjelly. Like Shazzabir said, you'll need to get stuck in straight away but it's definitely achievable

I only started run - jog - run around Easter and managed 10 miles last week. Probably could have done it sooner but I struggle with finding 1.5hrs to dedicate to a run, with 3 small children at home! Best of luck

 

[Clavicles]

A few runs to add in.
5 miles Sat. 6 Monday and 7 Tuesday.

I know not many are using this thread now, but I like that can keep track of my 'mileage' lol

 

[Shazzabir]

Your doing great!!! I did a 30 min run yesterday, but didn't measure distance, was more relieved I could do it without the pain. Hopefully I will be clocking up the miles soon

 

[cyberjelly]

Well I have been running on the treadmill at work doing a mile at a time. ( 1 mile @ speed 4.5mph 13mins)
Got home from work fairly early today so decided to go for a run to see how it feels on the 'road' rather than treadmill.
Managed to jog/run 1.75 miles in just under 20 mins.

But should I be concentrating on getting to the distance or completing 1 mile a bit quicker?

Distance ran this week 2.75m (1 more to do on Friday)

 

[Shazzabir]

5 miles for me!!
